How I am teaching myself The Tarot...

For more than 35 years, I have wanted to understand and learn the Tarot and have been completely flumoxed, until...

I asked myself if there was a "way" to learn it - and I looked into how to do so...a way to Memorize all the symbols and the definitions. I have a specific guide that I want to use, in the beginning... which is Michael Tsarion's Cards On Houses book, which includes his The Path of the Fool book. The reason I want to use this is that it utilizes the Kabbalah, Numerology, Astrology & The Tarot, which are my 4 favorite topics...into a system. I would like to use this as the basis of my "reading the cards" in the beginning.

I am going to share my process here, because I need to keep a record of my experience. I know it is going to be convoluted and I want to record it. I just started working on this yesterday, April 9, 2026.

I believe these ancient texts are fragments of knowledge given to us by Atlantis. I recommend the books of Samuel Sagan - Atlantean Secrets. It is a Trialogy. I believe the symbolism of the Tarot is embedded in my subconscious and I want access.

When I looked up HOW to memorize the Tarot - and I found this book - The Virtuous Mind by Anthony Metivier and so many free videos and help from him... that I sat down read the book in about a week...@AnthonyMetivierMMM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@AnthonyMetivierMMM here's his channel for anyone interested...

https://www.magneticmemorymethod.com/about/ - Anthony Metiver has "intrusive thoughts" and he has found that memorizing texts stops the thoughts so he uses a combination of Memory Palaces and Magnetic Imagery to memorize and ingest information... He has written an article specifically about how to memorize the Tarot, but it is not indepth enough for me.

Next, I began to utilize my childhood home as my Memory Palace to learn Tarot. I must comment, that as I did this process, my mind felt much clearer and I started feeling emotionally very good. I think it's good for the brain to practice this process.

Then I realized that each card should be it's own Memory Palace with at least 13 stations each just for the symbolism, so instead, I decided to copy the cards first and see if I could just embed the symbolism in my subconscious.

Then, use the Memory Palace to memorize the card "meanings" and reversal meanings.

I had once learned this from Paul Foster Cayce who created a black and white Tarot Deck called B.O.T.A. and suggested people color it in in order to learn it. I see in his rendition of the Fool, the circles on his tunic actually are wheels and there is a "Shin" on one of the wheels.

I read now that it was a requirement of Golden Dawn Initiates to color in the deck, says AskLeo. I see that there is a lot more symbolism in this card than on the Rider Waite. I will have to also utilize this deck: Yod Heh Vov Heh on his collar. Shin on the lower right wheel. A flame on the upper heart wheel. A crescent moon and 8 pointed star on his right shoulder. An eye on his satchel and the Eagle - not a feather. His leggings are green and his feet are yellow. And he could be female or male which is good, because in non-duality - the "4th dimension" all is rolled up into One.

Later on, the Eagle is one of the 4 in the World Card and in The Wheel of Fortune - the 4 Fixed signs of Astrology - which are Scorpio (Eagle), Man (Aquarius), The Bull (Taurus), and The Lion (Leo) - the 4 elements of earth - water, air, earth and fire... so why? Water? on his Satchel and the All-Seeing Eye?

I have read in other texts - like Franz Bardon - Initiation Into Hermetics - that Fire is the first element. Maybe Fire is represented on his sleeves and water on his satchel... more will be revealed. Maybe the red feather is that of an eagle? But why red? Adrenachrome? We know from recent revealings via Pizza Gate - and folks like Kerth Barker, that "Red" Shoes are made of skin of babies that are sacrificed by the Dark Occult... hence the red shoes of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz... or maybe it's Colloidal Gold?

Red is the color of the Root Chakra, of course - Earth, The Kingdom.

If anyone would like to color these in with me, you are welcome to download them here

For more information like this, I recommend the International Association of Spiritual and Occult Periodicals.

I knew that just reading the Victorious Mind and thinking about the Major Arcana was already doing things to me...I can feel it in my brain...and for example, I noticed that the Fool's main color is yellow, and yellow means Will in the chakra system. Then there is white and then blue, in the background - so Will over God/Intuition since White is God but the Sun is White - in the upper right corner - in the past, shining on the future.

While I was copying the Fool card, I recognized a few things - first of all - the sun in the Universal Waite has 12 Rays. Not in the original Rider Waite though and I could not find the original paintings by Pamela Coleman Smith on the internet, although I did find a few articles about her - or the same article, written by the NY Times, reprinted around... Here in the B.O.T.A. deck - there are 12 Rays.

I also noticed that not only is there a red feather in his cap, which connects this card to several others in the deck, but also that there is a red feather on his red satchel and that in the original Rider Waite deck, the satchel looks like an angry red faced the same size as his head... The red feather exists also in Death, The Sun, The Knight of Wands, The Page of Wands, & the 9 of Cups...

He also wears a green cap...Green is the color of Nature. He has Nature in his Neo Cortex - upper new brain.

There is a white flower, a white dog, white snow capped mountains - and he wears a white undershirt - and the Sun is white - which means he is representing God in this card - and he is sort of an Androgen - which makes sense since God is both male and female because God is in the 4th dimension where there is no duality... In fact this is one of the only cards that has only single main characters. Most of the cards talk about duality.

The tunic really looks like it is printed with apples but The Pictorial Guide Through The Tarot by AC Waite says that his tunic is printed with The 12 Wheels of the Golden Dawn... then why the fiery interior of his tunic which looks like the core of the earth? I think it's both and it refers to the the Adam and Eve story - the knowledge of Good and Evil which God has the knowledge of in NON-duality where they are not separated.

I also looked hard at the stones upon which he is standing and noticed the rock in the upper right looks like a penis... but looking at these rocks - it looks like Vav backwards - what does that mean? Duality in matter? and then there is a heart shaped rock near his feet along with a weird solid circle with a line through it embedded in the rocks - is that Zero?

Not sure. Also his toe on his left foot (mirror image) is clearly stopped by that rock... and the dog is very close to the edge - which makes sense. As I was drawing this, I had the sense about the "intellect" of man which supposedly is our prize possession but actually in my opinion is what makes us separate from all creatures on earth and is a detriment, since the Dog is so much more adept at utilizing intuition than we are. The dull green mountains at the bottom of the card indicate foreground, midground and background - which has passed behind the youth... and there is a weird cave under the Dog.

He is standing on brown bare stone... Why no snow where he is if he is at the highest point? He is definitely above tree line - which means no green life can grow where he is, but it's basically saying that he is not the highest point...

Which means that the Zero itself IS "God" - because it is in non-duality. Everything here on earth is subject to duality - as we have seen from the Kybalion but the Zero is like the womb. The Fool is a representation of "God" on earth, but he is more like Pan - the God of Nature. And this is proven by the brown rock - which is a mixture of the Primary Colors - Red, Yellow & Blue - with sunlight illuminating the tops.

His satchel does look light - not much in it, and there is a red feather on the satchel... but on the B.O.T.A deck, it is an eagle. The eagle, later on, is the symbol of Scorpio - birth and death, and his green hat. He is the God of Nature - Pan, in my opinion.

I think Arthur Waite created this deck as the EXOTERIC deck and occulted some of the symbolism in this deck - and perhaps the B.O.T.A. deck is the ESOTERIC version since it was used to initiate Golden Dawners... so I am going with that they are apples with the wheels on them, and there is an even more important missing link in the next few cards, along with this one, in that the first card after zero should be a feminine card, such as the High Priestess. I got this idea from my friend @zeronine8746/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lord Osiron on YOUTUBE... @Lord_Osiron" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Odysee and because the Freemasons and the Order of the Golden Dawn chose to occult this - Zero's and One's have taken over humanity and have invented Transhumanism...as they meant to all along, destroying the Earth.

Why Apples?

"The "apple pentagram" refers to the natural five-pointed star (pentagram) revealed when an apple is sliced horizontally across its equator, exposing the seed arrangement in the core. This symbol has deep historical and spiritual significance, originally representing the goddess Kore (also known as Persephone), whose sacred fruit was the apple. In various traditions, including Wicca, Paganism, and among the Roma people, the apple core is revered as the "Star of Knowledge" or a symbol of life, health, and the five elements (earth, air, fire, water, and spirit). While often associated with modern pagan practices and harvest festivals like Mabon and Samhain, the symbol predates these, having been used by ancient Greeks, Pythagoreans, and other cultures as a sign of protection, harmony, and higher wisdom." - AskLeo

The Tarot is truly a Nephilim Deck, after all... not really meant for us red-bloods. Copying the cards is definitely the best way to memorize the symbolism... I will use Memory Palaces to memorize the word/meanings for the positive, negative and reversed meanings later...

I also learned, from somewhere that all the knowledge that remains occulted can be revealed through meditation, so this is where I know that by putting in the effort, I am going to learn a lot about our origins - which is another of my fave topics of research.
